Im positive Cuomo would get more votes than DeSantis if he ran for President, pending no significant sexual harassment findings
He all but admitted it and passed it off as him just cracking inappropriate jokes. He actually approved the laws. I am all for giving people fair trial and chance to defend themselves but he admitted to the allegations in part which means he should resign at minimum:
Cuomo said he does not believe that fits the definition.
"Harassment is not making someone feel uncomfortable," he said. "That is not harassment. If I just made you feel uncomfortable, that is not harassment. That's you feeling uncomfortable."
“If an employer makes unwelcome jokes, comments, asks probing questions of a sexual nature or makes unwanted sexual propositions -- which is exactly what Gov. Cuomo has already admitted to having directed toward my client, Charlotte Bennett -- that employer has violated New York state law. There is no gray area here,” Katz said.
Katz said according to the
New York State Equal Employment Opportunity Handbook, sexual harassment is defined as follows:
"Actions that may constitute sexual harassment based upon a hostile work environment may include, but are not limited to, words, signs, jokes, pranks, intimidation or physical violence which are of a sexual nature, or which are directed at an individual because of that individual’s sex. Sexual harassment also consists of any unwanted verbal or physical advances, sexually explicit derogatory statements or sexually discriminatory remarks made by someone which are offensive or objectionable to the recipient, which cause the recipient discomfort or humiliation, or which interfere with the recipient’s job performance."
